Jesus said to his disciples: "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats."
What an image to ponder! Try to imagine this scene. At one definitive moment in the future, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, now also in human form as the "Son of Man," will return to earth in glory surrounded by all the angels of Heaven and will sit upon His new and glorious throne. In front of that throne, every person of every nation ever to exist will be gathered together, and each person will be judged according to their deeds.
Those who served our Lord and treated the least of His brothers and sisters with mercy and compassion will hear Jesus say, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Those who did not serve Christ and did not treat the least ones with mercy will be sent off to eternal punishment as Jesus says to them, "Depart from me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels."
On that day, only one thing will matter, because eternity will be determined with permanence. All that will matter is whether you will be placed on our Lord's right so as to inherit eternal life, or on His left and sent into the eternal fires. #GospelToday
